Real Betis face missing out to a LaLiga rival for Manchester United loanee Antony.
That's the claim from Spain despite Betis' hunger to keep the Brazil winger.
Antony, 25, has been in sensational form since departing Old Trafford.
He's notched eight goals and two assists in 23 matches for Betis.
But the Spanish top-flight club are unlikely to qualify for the Champions League.
And that could reportedly tip the balance in favour of a LaLiga rival.
Ipswich striker Liam Delap has been advised against signing for Manchester United.
Delap is at the centre of a multi-club transfer scramble following relegation.
And United have been strongly tipped to lead the way for the 22-year-old.
But ex-England and Aston Villa frontman Gabriel Agbonlahor reckons WEST HAM would be a far better option.
Agbonlahor believes the former England Under-21 ace should take time to develop his game – before risking the cauldron of a club like the Red Devils.
He said: “If I was him, I wouldn’t be going there.
“I wouldn’t stay at Ipswich, I’d go to West Ham, go and prove yourself at West Ham, the next step.
“They need a striker, Evan Ferguson will go back to Brighton, it hasn’t worked out.”
Monaco star Vanderson is being linked with a move to Manchester United.
The Brazilian full-back still has three years remaining on a contract which see him to pocket almost £50,000-a-week.
But GiveMeSport claim United are weighing up a summer swoop.
Chelsea's Premier League match with Manchester United was temporarily stopped due to an unexpected kit violation.
Red Devils hitman Rasmus Hojlund was the guilty party in the second half of the Stamford Bridge showdown on Friday night, which Chelsea won 1-0.
The Denmark international returned to the pitch after the second-half interval wearing what appeared to be a fitness tracker.
Hojlund's wearing of the device didn't go unnoticed, with the referee Chris Kavanagh briefly halting the game and instructing him to remove it.
And the Dane couldn't help but laugh as he made his way to the touchline to hand over the device.
The bizarre incident stunned footie fans, who flocked to X to give their thoughts.
One wrote: "Hojlund really came on the pitch with an Apple Watch."
Another said: "[He was] counting his steps."
And another said: "Counting his steps cos (sic) he knows he won't score."
One remarked: "Bruv just wanted to get his steps in."
United minds are already switching to next Wednesday's Europa League final.
Boss Ruben Amorim said: "Of course, we are excited to be in the final.
"Since day one the pressure has been there but I live quite well with the pressure.
"When you have the final of any cup, we show up so we are prepared for that."
Relief probably dominated Ruben Amorim's thinking - despite yet another Prem defeat.
United face Tottenham in Wednesday's Europa League final.
And after the 1-0 loss at Champions League hopefuls Chelsea, Amorim said: "We have to prepare for each competition, with five days, we can rest.
"We have five days to prepare [for the Europa League final], two days to fully recover and then two days to prepare.
"In the end I looked at all the players and I think they are ok."
Ruben Amorim reckons his United side were unlucky in their 1-0 loss at Chelsea - but lacked "aggression".
Amorim told the BBC's Match of the Day: "I think we started great.
"But in the final third we needed to be a bit more aggressive. "
He added: "It was a bit of bad luck today. Sometimes we want to press and to score a goal but we lost a little bit of concentration.
"It was different but you never like when you lose the game. We were competitive, that was clear."
United's individual performances were generally as low-key as their 1-0 Prem defeat at Chelsea suggests.
But centre-back Harry Maguire again did little wrong.
However, Chelsea old boy Mason Mount disappointed, while Rasmus Hojlund was once more a big flop up front, albeit with United creating little.

But at least they appeared to have avoided any injury issues ahead of next Wednesday's Europa League final.
And the fight was clearly there in the performance - if not really the guile to create too much.
But United did have a Harry Maguire goal ruled out for offside on 16 minutes.
Gusto nearly made it 2-0 on the break for Chelsea in the 97th minute - just after United had offered rare danger at the other end.
And a pitch invader then held up play - adding to the stoppage time.
But in the end Chelsea clung on for a narrowly-deserved win.

Manchester United fans are convinced VAR drew the offside lines on the WRONG PLAYER when they ruled out Harry Maguire's goal against Chelsea, writes CHISANGA MALATA.
The England defender thought he'd given the Red Devils the lead in the 16th minute of their trip to Chelsea with a beautiful right-footed finish inside the box.
But the goal was ruled out as part of his right knee and a small portion of his foot were marginally offside.
The Old Trafford faithful weren't happy when they saw a graphic of the offside and vented their frustration on X.
One wrote: "Why didn't they use Cucurella. VAR at it again?"
Another said: "Wait, they drew the line on the wrong person!!!! Cucurella was the last man.
"But it still looked off sha, but still!!!"
And another said: "Premier League, that's fraud. Cucurella kept him onside."

Chelsea just about deserve that lead.

It's given as a penalty - but that's overturned on a review, which looks like the correct decision as George was on his way down when negligible contact was made.
